1. Introduction ______

Congratulations on purchasing the Broadband Router. This Broadband Router, is a high quality and reliable Internet

routing device, enables multiple users to share the Broadband Internet connection through a Cable or DSL modem.

Simply install the router, connect to Cable/DSL modem, and surf Internet without extra efforts. Acting as a 10/100Mbps

4-port Ethernet switch as well, the router, with all ports supporting MDI/MDIX, allows you to use CAT5 cable to uplink to

other routers/switches. The Broadband Router provides a total solution for the Small and Medium-sized Business

(SMB) and the Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) markets, giving you an instant network today, and the flexibility to

handle tomorrow's expansion and speed.

1.1 Features

Internet Access Features

● Shared Internet Access: All users on the LAN can access the Internet through the Broadband Router, using only a

single external IP address. The local (invalid) IP addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called

NAT (Network Address Translation).

● DSL and cable modem Support: The Broadband Router has a 10/100BaseT Ethernet WAN port for connecting a

DSL or cable modem. All popular DSL and cable modems are supported.

● PPPoE and PPTP Support: The Internet (WAN port) connection supports PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) and PPTP

(Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol), as well as “Direct Connection” type services.

● Fixed or Dynamic IP Address: On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the Broadband Router supports both

Dynamic IP address (IP address is allocated on connection) and Fixed IP address.

Advanced Internet Functions

● Conferencing & Telephony Applications: Internet Telephony and Conferencing applications are supported.

● DMZ: One PC on your local LAN can be configured to allow unrestricted 2-way communication with Servers or

individual users on the Internet.

● URL Filter: Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.

● Internet Access Log: This feature is used to verify which Internet connections have been made.

LAN Features

● 4-Port Ethernet Switch: The Broadband Router provides 4 10/100Base-T switching ports.

● Standard Compliance: The Broadband Router complies with the IEEE 802.3x full duplex flow control.

● DHCP Server Support: This feature provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The

Broadband Router can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN.

● Multi Segment LAN Support: This feature is enabled through Broadband Router’s RIP (Routing Information Protocol)

and build-in static routing table.

Configuration and Management

● Easy Setup: Users allow to configure Broadband Router from anywhere on the LAN via web browser.

● Remote Management: The Broadband Router can be managed from any PC on the LAN.

● UPnP Support: Universal Plug and Play feature. UPnP is supported by Windows ME or later.

Security Features

● Password Protected Configuration: Optional password protection is provided to prevent unauthorized users from

modifying the configuration data and settings.

● NAT Protection: This feature allows all LAN users to share a single IP address and all users’ IPs are hidden. From

the external viewpoint, there is no network only the Broadband Router exists.

● Firewall: All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server requests are filtered.

2. PC Configuration ____

User needs to configure TCP/IP network settings, Internet access configuration for each system within the Broadband

Router’s LAN network. By default, the Broadbnad Router acts as a DHCP server for server version of Windows, it

automatically assigns IP address to each system when systems boot up. For all non-server version of Windows, the

default TCP/IP setting acts as a DHCP client. If user chooses fixed IP addresses for client systems, the Gateway of

the client system must be set to the IP address of the Broadband Router and DNS of the client system should be set to

the address provided by your ISP.
